(ok another post!) ... funny really I am currently working towards building a skinning class, so not only do I agree with look, feel and functionality but getting feedback from the users actually using the product is fundamental. I co-developed a document management system for deloitte's many years ago and spent some time running through alpha versions with the end users which shaped the product and ensured nearly 100% acceptance of the system, and equally important good feedback to the client who paid for the work.

Talking of functionality look and feel, have you looked at {{Link} Avant, ok so its 'another' managed IE browser but I think it is excellent.

Axel,

You have it. Try convincing a client you are contracting for that it's worth spending the little bit of extra time to pull together the libraries needed to build a killer USABLE interface.

I think I've done the convincing at my current client... and that's a good thing. Users will be much, much happier.

The thing, I really like about the Web 2.0 is that those people really care about usability. And its completly different concept, but just "shiny visual feature".

I am currently working in a team, where there is a bit too much of the well known

- All users interpret usability in a different way,

- so it doesn't matter too much.

- There are too much other important issues

- which moreover qualify way better as work for real men

Needs patience, but I wanna change that.
